Danny Yung Talk Series – Creative Elements 2: The Sound

Designing, constructing and managing the natural and man-made sounds are fun experiments in the theatre. Using previous experiments and illustrative examples, Danny Yung will lead you to explore and learn about the possibilities associated with sounds.
